SUGGESTION: Consider bounding this value. loadSessions calls the listSessions callback once for the workspace directory and once per registered worktree directory, then merges the results and posts every session to the webview on each refresh. A very large sessionsLimit multiplies both the rows fetched from the backend and the payload sent to the webview, so an accidental unbounded value can make history loading noticeably slow. A maximum in the setting schema (or a smaller per-directory fetch with lazy loading) would keep this predictable.

Reply with @kilocode-bot fix it to have Kilo Code address this issue.
